The Real Greatest 18 Albums
by 
Goliath 
If 'Greatest' is defined by a mixture of sales and BEA rating, what does the 'Greatest' chart look like? Albums with high BEA rating but relatively poor sales do not appear, neither do high selling albums that BEA members do not like.
I've added BEA chart position to worldwide sales rank (both must be in the top 100) to get this chart. May seem a bit arbitrary, but it sort of works (I think). Note that my own personal rating does not influence this chart in any way.
Sales based on estimated global sales according to figures and certifications from the IFPI-members around the world.
